Hi welcome to the forum,
It deffinitly looks like you got a Original Remington Rolling block there, but thats about all I can tell you from the photo.

If that's a fake, it is a darned good one. Best I can do.

I have some more info..35" bbl., 2 patent dates, Nov 15th 1864 and April 17th 1866, looks like it might be .45/70

Hi Ken,

I did some more searching with the info you gave,
I think you may have a Military Rolling block, could you give us a few more pictures such as where the patents are stamped?, I think it will say something like "REMINGTONS ILION, NY USA PAT MAY 3D NOV 15TH 1864 APRIL 17, 1866", as for the caliber it should and probaly is a .50/70
Found what i think you have on Gunbroker take a look at the pics and compare, http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=157062682


If it is as described then your looking at a ~$1000+ rifle depending on condition

It is indeed a Remington Rolling Block. Show us a full length photo of the rifle. We've got a military model one at where I work.
